First thing I thought of when I saw Gengar was this, from a now-dead amusement park I went to as a kid lol

The idea behind Gigantamax Garbador is that the toys thrown in the trash inside of it Gigantamaxed with the Pokémon, right?
Then someone tossed a Master Ball.
edit: Also, it's funny to think that...

This of all mons is fought at the climax of the game.
This is both the best and worst G-Max designThe idea behind Gigantamax Garbador is that the toys thrown in the trash inside of it Gigantamaxed with the Pokémon, right?

Best because it's great, worst because it totally ruins the illusion of the Pokemon actually being big.
IS that a Magikarp skeleton or just a toy skeleton?The idea behind Gigantamax Garbador is that the toys thrown in the trash inside of it Gigantamaxed with the Pokémon, right?

I would also like to put forward:
The starters
Skiddo line
Heliolisk
The fossils
Goomy line
Volcanion
And that's not including some of the excellent mega designs.
Not to ignore the bottom of this but I wish to say something. When i mentioned this before I got a bunch of people including joe suggesting this was misinformation. Now can we finally just admit that the people in charge don't care to change anything because the games are not thier primary profit margins, they got films, merch , tv shows mobile games and stuff. Its been clear for a while, its why they have been making these moves that seem more tailered to very specific audiences that are generally outside of the pokemon playing base, not just casual players but lapsed old fans. The nostalgia dollar is strong and manifests in other areas
So now when we have this conversation, talking about where pokemon is colored it needs to be colored with this . This , how they operate their business, a bunch of people higher up decided the pokemon games aren't their main mode of buisness and it isn't worth expanding because they make money.
That's it
Based on a real extinct animal:
This makes so much more sense for it being Ghost type than a stealth bomber.
I don't see how it breaks the illusion, it's a small toy train that got thrown away and ended up Gigantamaxing along with the Pokémon.
I think it's neat and reminds of the micro machines that I had when I was a kid.
It breaks the illusion because them being toys shows that they aren't actually big.
But... they are big? They're toys that were small and grew big along with the Pokemon, I don't really get what you mean here.
They didn't grow, Gigantamax is a projection and the toys break the illusion.
It's not really an immediate read. Those things look like they're supposed to be for scale, so it's like "Oh shit, there's a whole ship in there!", but then you see that they're all toys, which implies small. Within context, when you see it grow huge, it will make sense, but just as a design on its own, the toys do the opposite of making it look big as a visual shorthand.
It's not like... A hologram. It's an energy projection, like the Susano'o in Naruto. It still exists physically in its environment.
I dunno about suspending disbelief when it comes to Pokemon moves when its always been truly absurd. Like I remember the battle buffet in Sun and Moon and im doing this to their creatures.

I don't mean like that, this is sn issue I have with the whole thing being a projection instead of the Pokemon actually growing.I dunno about suspending disbelief when it comes to Pokemon moves when its always been truly absurd. Like I remember the battle buffet in Sun and Moon and im doing this to their creatures.
I know one of the devs said that, but he was completely full of shit. "It's a projection" makes literally no sense when it comes to max raid battles and the blurbs for the G-max Pokemon on the website talk about them as if they're real (and huge) forms and not just projections. One of Eternatus's Dex entries says that it's responsible for "the Dynamax phenomenon." It's a real thing.
I really like Eternatus. It's looking like it may have out edged Giratina as my favorite edgy legendary Pokemon.
I hope they do something as eerie and eldritch-feeling for it story wise as Platinum did with Giratina, like it coming out of the portal and then pretty much just straight up attacking the player's screen.
Those toys on Max Garbador were probably originally life sized things. But then they decided that it was too real since crashed planes/wrecked buildings/trashed trains hit a little bit too close to home especially with 9/11, the crashed Max planes and the subway attacks in Tokyo.
Third best G-Max in the game.
1. Corviknight
2. Grimmsnarl
3. Gengar
that's exactly how i took it. I think too many people took the word "projection" and immediately thought "that means it's a fake illusion"
That reminds, how does the projection explanation square up with Eternatus's abilities?
It doesn't, because it never made any sense to begin with lol. I'm almost positive that there was some kind of misunderstanding or translation fuckup when the dev said that.
So, I guess now is a good time to ask again: do we have impressions on the difficulty of the main campaign?
Also, do we finally know all of the G-max forms in the game?

Oh yeah, like I'm gonna trust some hill as an authority on magic.
Leaker hasn't mentioned it unfortunately. All we know is that Leon uses 6 Pokemon and his team is pretty damn good.
I would wait to see in-game text describing Dynamax, it's possible that Masuda and Ohmori were being vague because of spoilers.
what was his team again, I remember
Aegislash, Dragapult, Haxorus, and Strong Starter
it might evolve earlier, he said the pokemon in the wild area become level 60 post game, so he could have caught it at that level
I'm pretty sure it's at 60, can't remember what the leaker said though.
Charizard and then the leaker forgot the last one, but judging off the rest of his team it'll be something like Chandelure/Bisharp/Rhyperior I'd say
